- BURNER ATTACHMENT.

Application filed. December 5, 1921. SeriaLNo. 520,121.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM A. HINEs and Fnnnnnion B. MANLEY, citizens of the United States, residing at Carey, in the county of /Vyandot and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burner Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to attachments for the burners of gas stoves and has as its primary object to provide an attachment which will concentrate and conserve the heat generated at the burner and thus effect a saving in the consumption of the fuel.

Another object of the invention is to provide an attachment in the nature of a domelike bafiie adapted to be disposed over the burner of any ordinary gas stove and serve by its presence to concentrate the flame from the burner and prevent its dissipation so that the maximum benefit will be derived from the fuel consumed and the rate of fuel consumption may be materially lessened or cut down.

Another objectof the invention is to provide an attachment for the purpose stated formed of a material such that it will absorb ent invention in place upon the burner of a gas stove which burner is likewise shown in section;

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the attachment removed. 7

In. the drawings the numeral 1 indicates in general the burner of any ordinary gas stove and which burner is of the usual annular form and provided with the usual jet openings 2 from which the fuel issues. The numeral 3 indicates the usual utensil sup porting fingers which are positioned above the burner, and the numeral 4 indicates in general the attachment embodying the invention.

The attachment l may be moulded or otherwise formed from any refractory material found suitable for the purpose but is preferably moulded from a mixture of clay, I

asbestos, and charcoal. The attachment comprises a body 5 which has substantially the form of a segment of a hollow sphere. This dome-like body 5 is of a diameter adapting it to be disposed,.with its concave side presented downwardly, resting upon the burner 1 in the manner clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, and with its convex side presented upwardly toward the fingers 3. When. the attachment is thus arranged and the burner is lighted, the flames propagated at the burner will be concentrated by the attachment and the heat generated will be prevented from being dissipated in all directions as is the case in the use of the ordinary burner without the attachment. In order that the heated products of combustion and the flames may reach any utensil supported upon the fingers 3, the body 5' is formed with a number of openings one of which, indicated by the numeral 6, is lobeing located at points where they will most effectually serve their purpose. ings 6 and 7 may be of any desired size and shape, and the number of the openings 7 may be varied as found expedient.

It will be understood from the'foregoing that the attachment serves as a bafileto diroot the flames and products of combustion against the bottom of the utensil'disposed upon the fingers 3, thus preventing lateral dissipation of the heat generated at the The openburner and conserving and utilizing the heat in the most effectivemanner. Furthermore, because of the composition of the material from which-the attachment is moulded, the attachment will become highly heated during the time the burner is lighted, and after the burner flame has been extinguished, the absorbed heat will be retained and gradually radiated for a considerable period of time so that the attachment serves as a means for keeping the utensil warm even after the flame has been extinguished. I

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is: 1

1. A burner attachment for the purpose stated comprising a dome-like body to rest upon and be supported by the burner and extending over the same to concentrate the.

vided with means for establishing a draft.

2. A burner attachment for the purpose statedeompr-ising mhody of refractory materi'al' having substantially the form of a segment of a hollow sphere whereby it may rest upon-;ancl be supportedby the burner and extend over the entire area thereof.

3. A burner attachment for the purpose stated comprising a body of refractory material having substantially the form of a, segment of a hollow sphere whereby it. may rest upon and be supported by the burner with its eouvave side presented to the burner and enclosing the same and provided at its mid portion With draft perforations.

In testimony whereof We affix our signatures. 1
